Chapter 857: The Secret Struggle of Daluo, the Flow of the Scum of Heaven and Earth

The filth of heaven and earth... Can this thing that everyone avoids be brought up and discussed openly?

Even when he was in the South China Sea, Ao Bing had never directly mentioned the existence of the Scum of Heaven and Earth - but in Lingxiao Palace, he spoke directly and clearly about the Scum of Heaven and Earth.

He was even "asking for advice" on the method of "eliminating the filth of heaven and earth".

Is there any way to remove the filth of heaven and earth?
Of course there is no way - but there is no way to eliminate the filth of heaven and earth, but there are many ways to eliminate the consequences of the filth of heaven and earth.

Western teachings talk about cause and effect.

In the theory of Western religions, the filth of heaven and earth is a kind of cause and effect - ordinary cause and effect is between living beings, while the filth of heaven and earth is between living beings and Daluo.

Between heaven and earth, every living being has its own position and some irreplaceable qualities. They are all of some use to heaven and earth - this is the cause and effect between them and heaven and earth.

And when these creatures, for some reason, die before they can fulfill their purpose, the cause and effect will be transferred to the creatures that caused their death.

Such causes and effects between heaven and earth accumulated and turned into the filth of heaven and earth.

And since it is cause and effect, and it is a transferred cause and effect, then there is naturally a way to transfer it out - that is the method to eliminate the influence of the filth of heaven and earth.

When transferring cause and effect, the people who are most convenient to take over the cause and effect are naturally one's own disciples and followers, and then the disciples under the Taoist tradition, and then the Qigong practitioners under the same system who absorb and exhale the same ancestral Qi.

There are also more advanced methods that can entrust this cause and effect to some mountain, river or stream... and so on.

Of course, these methods, these mysteries, are truly secrets among the great masters of this world - they will never be revealed to others.

If any Taiyi below Daluo show any intention to covet this method, even if there is still Daluo behind those Taiyi, that Taiyi will definitely die as a result.

But under the current situation, looking at the filth of heaven and earth that Ao Bing carries on his body, and thinking again, the person in front of him seems to be ready to ascend to Daluo at any time and reap the Daluo Dao Fruit, but at this moment, the filth of heaven and earth that he carries on his body is obviously an obstacle to his reap the Daluo Dao Fruit.

Under such circumstances, it seemed natural for him to ask about the secret method of eliminating the filth of heaven and earth - and Daluo did not feel any ill will about being spied on because of this.

It seems that all the Daluo can "forgive" Ao Bing's anxiety in front of this filth of heaven and earth...

However, understanding is understanding, forgiveness is forgiveness - no one can come up with their own method to reduce the filth of heaven and earth.

That is the real taboo between heaven and earth, a taboo that can be done but absolutely cannot be said. Once it is known by others, it will give others an advantage!

Especially the Jade Emperor as the Emperor of Heaven.

So, facing Ao Bing's question, the Jade Emperor immediately rebuked him righteously.

"The filth of heaven and earth is called the filth of heaven and earth, but in reality it is the weight of heaven and earth!"

"To bear the disgrace of the country is to be the master of the country; to bear the misfortune of the country is to be the king of the world."

"Those who bear the authority of heaven and earth must bear the blame of heaven and earth. This is heaven and earth's warning to you."

"Whether it is the war situation in the South China Sea or the rules of the sky, they are all related to the future of heaven and earth, and the fate of countless lives. It can be said that a single move affects the entire body."

"If there were no filth of heaven and earth to serve as a warning, I'm afraid all the gods of heaven and earth would manipulate their power and act recklessly."

"However, Qinglong, you don't have to worry. The filth of heaven and earth is a warning to heaven and earth, and it is also the feedback from heaven and earth to the immortals and gods."

"If you do your best and live up to the heaven and earth and all living beings, then the dirt of heaven and earth will naturally dissipate over time and turn into a huge source of heaven and earth, strengthening your body."

"Who knows, your chance to reach Daluo is right here!"

"You must not let the weight of heaven and earth cause you to have any evil thoughts!"

"I see." Ao Bing nodded, "Thank you for your teachings, Your Majesty. If it weren't for Your Majesty, Ao Bing would have almost made a big mistake."

Feeling the filth of heaven and earth flowing through his body, Ao Bing paused before continuing to speak.

"In the past, I thought Your Majesty was too conservative and was dissatisfied with your actions."

“Now, I bear the stigma of heaven and earth personally, and only then do I realize how difficult it is to carry the stigma of heaven and earth.” Ao Bing sighed.

"I only hold the South China Sea, and the filth of heaven and earth is coming in torrents, so great that it is almost destroying my body."

"Your Majesty sits in the Heavenly Palace, holds the power of the Heavenly Emperor to mediate between heaven and earth, and bears the filth of the entire heaven and earth - you can imagine the pressure Your Majesty is under."

"I was not aware of this situation before, and I offended Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Ao Bing lowered his head and spoke about how the Emperor of Heaven bore the filth of heaven and earth.

At the highest point of the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor sat with a sullen face.

In the past, how turbulent the filth of heaven and earth was, and how many Daluo shared the filth of heaven and earth, are all things of the past - but at this moment, Ao Bing's words, in front of many Daluo in Lingxiao Palace, lifted him up high as the Emperor of Heaven, and said that the Emperor of Heaven was responsible for the great cause of heaven and earth.

After saying this, as long as the Jade Emperor does not deny it, it means he has agreed. In front of the agreement of many immortals and gods in Lingxiao Palace, what is the difference between this and the promise Ao Bing made in the South China Sea?
As soon as Ao Bing made a promise in the South China Sea, the filth of the world in the South China Sea came rushing in...If the Jade Emperor himself acquiesced in this Lingxiao Palace, wouldn't the filth of the entire world also come rushing in?

Those Daluo who are still trying to get rid of the filth of heaven and earth, won't they immediately throw the filth of heaven and earth off themselves as well?

After listening to Ao Bing's words, the eyes of other Daluo also lit up.

The filth of heaven and earth is the "filth" that troubles every Daluo - in the past, in order to make the filth of heaven and earth less on themselves and more on others, those Daluo had to go through countless trials and tribulations.

But now... Ao Bing's words made these Daluo see another possibility.

That is, to transfer all the filth of heaven and earth to the Jade Emperor - Ao Bing is in charge of the South China Sea, so he bears the filth of heaven and earth in the South China Sea.

Then isn't it natural for the Jade Emperor to rule over heaven and earth and bear all the grievances of heaven and earth?

Therefore, without waiting for the Jade Emperor to deny it, the group of Daluo had already spoken out to confirm Ao Bing's words.

"What kind of person is His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor? How could he bother with a junior like you?"

"Now that you have been tainted by the dirt of the South Sea, when the rules of heaven are in operation, more dirt of the rules of heaven will fall on you."

"You should carefully follow the teachings of the Heavenly Emperor and behave yourself properly, just like His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, who bears the filth of heaven and earth without moving like a mountain."

"Don't go down the evil path because of your own selfish desires, which will cause disaster to the world."

"I will keep it in mind." Ao Bing also stood up to show his greeting.

At this time, the voice of the Jade Emperor finally sounded in the Lingxiao Palace - if he didn't speak again, then everything would be over, and he, the Jade Emperor, would probably fall directly into the dust under the surging dirt of heaven and earth.

"Fellow Daoists, please do not threaten the younger generation." The Jade Emperor's extremely gentle voice echoed in the Lingxiao Palace. "It is rare to find someone who is brave enough to take on responsibilities in the Heavenly Court, but please do not be frightened by your remarks that are a scourge to the world."

The Jade Emperor's gaze fell on Ao Bing.

"Justice, don't pay attention to the jokes of these fellow Taoists - the Emperor of Heaven bears the filth of heaven and earth. Although there is such a saying, in fact, it is just nonsense."

"Otherwise, how could the filth of the South Sea pass me and fall on you?"

The Jade Emperor talked about his "sorting out" of the current filth of heaven and earth.

"The Emperor of Heaven rules the world with the help of the power of Heaven, not with his own power."

“So, although I am the Emperor of Heaven, in reality, it is not me, the Emperor of Heaven, who bears the filth of the Emperor of Heaven—it is Heaven itself.”

"Heaven governs the heaven and earth - so the filth of heaven and earth falls on Heaven."

"In the Heavenly Court, there is an orderly and strict structure. Many immortals and gods stand in the Heavenly Court and hold the authority of the Heavenly Court. Therefore, according to the authority they hold, the filth of heaven and earth that falls on the Heavenly Court is also shared by these immortals and gods."

"Just like you are in the South China Sea."

"Under normal circumstances, in the South China Sea War, you should build your South China Sea Marshal's Mansion first, and then the filth of heaven and earth will fall on the Heavenly Palace first, and then fall through your Marshal's Mansion. According to the structure of your Marshal's Mansion, it will fall on the immortals and gods in your Marshal's Mansion."

"In this way, even though you are the Grand Marshal of the South China Sea, the filth of heaven and earth that you bear will be much less than it is now."

"But you act too hastily and impatiently."

"The structure of the Marshal's Office in the South China Sea has not even been built yet, and you have already taken the lead in starting the war in the South China Sea."

“So, in this heavenly court, under the Marshal’s Office of the South Sea, you are the only one.”

"In this case, the filth of heaven and earth that should have been shared by all the gods has now fallen on you alone, damaging your body and hindering your path to Daluo." "This is true for your South China Sea Marshal's Mansion, and it is also true for my Heavenly Palace."

"If I were the only one in Heaven, then the filth of heaven and earth that came to Heaven would naturally fall on me alone."

"But under me, there are many immortals and gods like you in the Heavenly Court, who together build up the authority of the Heavenly Court."

“So, the filth of heaven and earth that gathered in the Heavenly Court began to fall on me and the many immortals and gods in the Heavenly Court.”

"Including the judicial system for you - when you fell into the heavenly court, the filth of heaven and earth that the heavenly court contained had already fallen on you according to your authority."

"It's just that, at the beginning, your power was not strong enough, so you couldn't detect the filth of heaven and earth that fell on you."

"And by the time you realized the existence of the filth of heaven and earth in the South China Sea, the filth of heaven and earth in the South China Sea was so huge that you still ignored the filth of heaven and earth that had originally fallen on you."

"You said that I bear the filth of heaven and earth, and that I am worthy of respect and awe - but in fact, the one who is truly worthy of respect and awe is not me, but the numerous immortals and gods in the heavens throughout the ages."

"There are so many immortals and gods whose names were not even recorded."

"Ever since the Heaven was established in the clouds, if it were not for the immortals and gods to mediate, even if I had means to reach the sky, it would be difficult for me to reconcile the filth of heaven and earth that has gathered in the Heaven." The Jade Emperor spoke, his voice becoming increasingly cheerful.

"Fortunately, now that the Heavenly Rules have been accomplished, all of you fellow Taoists have gathered together in Heaven, which will allow more people to share the burden of the filth of heaven and earth in Heaven."

The Jade Emperor said this - and those Daluo also understood the meaning of the Jade Emperor's words.

Under Ao Bing's ignorant words, the situation of heaven and earth changed. The filth of heaven and earth that was hidden beneath the surface in the past was brought to the surface in an unquestionable manner, and he, the Emperor of Heaven, had to bear the filth of heaven and earth.

In this situation, he, the Jade Emperor, is willing to accept defeat and bear the shame of heaven and earth!
However, it is absolutely impossible to make the Jade Emperor bear all the filth between heaven and earth as Ao Bing said!
But in this Lingxiao Palace, he couldn't refuse to bear all the filth of heaven and earth with just a few words.

Therefore, he proposed a new plan to "distribute" the filth of heaven and earth.

It takes the Heavenly Palace as its foundation and accommodates the filth of heaven and earth arising from the Heavenly Palace.

Then, using the authority of the immortals and gods in heaven as anchor points, all the filth of heaven and earth was distributed to those immortals and gods.

As the Emperor of Heaven, it is natural that he, the Jade Emperor, bears the most filth of heaven and earth.

But the other Daluos should not think of keeping themselves out of trouble, and should not take the opportunity to dump the filth of heaven and earth on themselves onto the Jade Emperor - in addition, if they want to share the authority of Heaven, the many Daluos between heaven and earth must also bear the filth of heaven and earth gathered in Heaven.

Listening to the Jade Emperor's words, everyone in the Lingxiao Palace, and even the Daluo who were stationed in various places, ready to deal with the Demon Ancestors at any time, began to ponder.

Everyone was considering the pros and cons of the distribution plan of the filth of heaven and earth mentioned by the Jade Emperor.

From an angle that Ao Bing could not see, these Daluo were arguing and even quarreling in an extremely fierce manner.

"Fellow Daoist Jade Emperor, you are using the authority of Heaven to share the filth of Heaven and Earth - but I don't know what the rules are?" A Daluo asked.

In such a situation, no one would be willing to bear the filth of heaven and earth in obscurity, especially since, according to what the Jade Emperor said, the filth of heaven and earth is 'distributed' through Heaven - doesn't that mean that, with the authority of Heaven, the Jade Emperor can actually make an adjustment to the direction of the filth of heaven and earth?
Does this mean that if the Jade Emperor is willing, he can even share the filth of heaven and earth that he should have borne with others - this is something that everyone has done in the past.

The Daluo of this generation did not have much trust in each other - let alone when it came to matters concerning the filth of heaven and earth.

Today, since the matter of the filth of heaven and earth has been brought to the table, there must be a clear statement about the bearing of the filth of heaven and earth, no matter what!

"Simple." The Jade Emperor looked calm as he put some of his past considerations directly in front of the many Daluo.

"First, it's the source of the filth of heaven and earth. Between heaven and earth, no matter what you do, there will be the filth of heaven and earth. The only difference is that when no one has done anything wrong, the filth of heaven and earth will be less, and when someone has done something wrong, the filth of heaven and earth will be more."

"So, the first level of the flow of the filth of heaven and earth is based on authority."

"In the heavenly court, every immortal has his own authority, and can interfere with a certain part of the heaven and earth, or even the whole heaven and earth. The filth of the heaven and earth will naturally fall on whoever has the authority to cause it."

The other Daluo also nodded secretly.

It is only natural that you are responsible for your own affairs, and no one can say that it is wrong - with the same authority, if you do a good job, the scourge of heaven and earth you bear will naturally be less, and if you do a poor job, the scourge of heaven and earth you bear will naturally be more.

"Secondly, the birth and death of all living things, the changes of heaven and earth, are happening all the time. From ancient times to the present, the only thing that remains eternal and unchanging is 'Yi' itself."

“Even if the Heavenly Court stagnates and does nothing, various changes between heaven and earth will still occur—the filth of heaven and earth will still come to the Heavenly Court.”

"Especially, there are certain corners that cannot be reached by the authority of the Heavenly Court."

"This part of the filth of heaven and earth is borne by the entire Heaven Court - to be honest, this part of the filth of heaven and earth in Heaven Court is the largest and most."

"After all, the manifestation of the filth of heaven and earth is to manifest in places that cannot be reached by humans."

"I have considered this in the past."

"The immortals and gods in the heavenly court should be divided into four categories according to the authority structure: main, deputy, subordinate, and scattered. There are thirty-six grades from one to nine."

"In addition, there are the Daluo Super and the inferior Mao Shen."

"A total of thirty-eight items."

"All the gods in heaven, including me, will share the burden of the extra dirt of heaven and earth according to their ranks."

"What do fellow Taoists think?"

The Jade Emperor had considered dividing the gods and immortals in Heaven into different grades according to their merits and powers, with a clear distinction between high and low and in good order a long time ago. However, after he took over Heaven, Heaven itself no longer had much appeal to the gods and immortals between heaven and earth. There were simply too many other places for the gods and immortals to go besides Heaven.

Under such circumstances, the Heavenly Court originally needed the participation and support of the immortals and gods. How could it possibly come up with this thirty-eight-grade system to distinguish the superior and inferior among the immortals and gods and make those immortals and gods more repulsive to the Heavenly Court?

And within the Heavenly Court, although there are ranks among the immortals and gods in various places, this rank is determined by their own merits and powers. The Heavenly Court has never clearly stated who is higher and who is lower among the immortals and gods.

When the Lingxiao Palace Conference was underway, the status of the immortals and gods traveling in the Lingxiao Palace was "equal".

"Not appropriate." After a moment, Daluo raised an objection to the Jade Emperor's proposal.

"After the establishment of the Heavenly Court, the immortals and gods between heaven and earth were divided into those within the Heavenly Court and those outside the Heavenly Court. If the immortals and gods within the Heavenly Court were to share the filth of heaven and earth, wouldn't that benefit those outside the Heavenly Court?"

You are responsible for the filth of heaven and earth that you have caused yourself. This is the basic tone - but in the Jade Emperor's consideration, the immortals and gods outside the Heavenly Court, and the Daluo outside the Heavenly Court, they only need to bear the filth of heaven and earth that they have caused themselves, while the filth of heaven and earth caused by the changes of heaven and earth will all belong to the Heavenly Court and be borne by the gods in the Heavenly Court.

What kind of system is this?
Everyone joins Heaven for the "benefits" after achieving success in Heaven, not to come to Heaven specifically to suffer losses.

Furthermore, within the Heavenly Court, the scheme for dividing the filth of heaven and earth according to grade is also different.

Even if they are of the same rank, the authority they hold is completely different.

The filth of heaven and earth can be alleviated by sorting out heaven and earth - and some authorities are inherently better at sorting out heaven and earth.

Furthermore, the greater the authority, the greater the impact on heaven and earth, and the more effective their actions to mitigate the filth of heaven and earth are.

Just like the position of the Jade Emperor as the Heavenly Emperor - in his thirty-eight-grade system, the Heavenly Emperor, like the other Daluo, is listed as a super grade.

As far as these super-class beings are concerned, they have to share the same amount of the filth of heaven and earth - but under such filth of heaven and earth, the authority they wield is more than just a world of difference.

Another example is the existence of those star gods...

The difference between real power and nominal position is difficult to distinguish under the system of thirty-eight grades.

It would be fine if those ordinary immortals and gods could not notice the filth of heaven and earth.

But how could they, the Daluo, fall into the Jade Emperor's trap so easily - to be like what the Jade Emperor had considered, to bear the same filth of heaven and earth as the Jade Emperor, and then to hold authority over heaven and earth that was far inferior to that of the Jade Emperor?
"No matter what, the Emperor of Heaven is the supreme ruler of Heaven and holds the power of Heaven. He should bear the most filth of Heaven and Earth in Heaven." Fuxi's voice sounded - "Just like in the human world, the King of Man holds the greatest power in the human world, but the King of Man also bears the greatest sins in the human world."

"Whenever disaster occurs, the blame will be primarily on the Human King, not on the princes." Fuxi said. His private plans with several Demon Ancestors did not affect his fight for the right to speak in Heaven at all.

“In terms of the human system, the division of the filth of heaven and earth should fall on the Emperor of Heaven first. Then, the part that the Emperor of Heaven cannot bear should be shared by the gods in heaven.” Fuxi looked calm and proposed another way to reconcile the filth of heaven and earth.

Hearing this, the Jade Emperor and other Daluo began to ponder.

The filth of heaven and earth that the Jade Emperor cannot bear is shared by the Heavenly Court - a very interesting plan.

The most interesting part is how to define the carrying capacity of the Jade Emperor?

How can we judge whether the filth of heaven and earth that flowed to other immortals and gods in heaven was intentionally indulged by the Jade Emperor, or whether the Jade Emperor had really reached the point where he could no longer bear it?
"The filth of heaven and earth is like a disease!" This was Fuxi's response to this question.
